The oil wetted medium attracts dirt supposedly better than a paper filter. Cone style or flat panel, there are thousands in use.

The only problem I have heard and have personally had was with a hot wire MAF sensor on my Nissan. I blew my MAF sensor by using a cone style intake. I don't know if oil contaminated the wire or too much airflow did it, but I had to remove my CAI on that car.

I read somewhere that the Ralliart panel filter caused erratic airflow readings in the dyno. Supposedly the K&N was better and did not have those problems.

use the K&N and take the top of the air box off. Instant cold air intake. Plus the turbo and bov sounds a hell of a lot better. I know its kind of cheezy but its FREE!!!!

I just installed K&N filter today and man I can feel the improvement. Turbo spooled alot quicker, you hear the wheezing alot louder @ high speeds, U can slightly hear the bov but its not as loud "not 2 loud" as I want it 2.

negative - rumbles @ idle.

Since you are the only one to step up and say it gained power, would you mind posting the dyno graph? I will assume you made a pass with the car and then swapped filters and ran it again.

It is part of all of Ultimate Racings upgrades so it cant be all that bad. I have had one on my last Evo and it made about 5hp over stock on DynoPak AWD dyno. Plus you never have to buy another filter again thats one reason I got one.
